The first real agent wiring: DeepSeek V4 + the bash tool suite + stdio
chat + JSONL persistence, runnable via yarn demo:coding (reads the
gitignored repo-root .env through process.loadEnvFile).
- examples/coding-agent: cordis.yml wiring both real plugin families
(llm-deepseek with !!js env secrets; bash-local + tool-bash), a
bash-only coding system prompt, a max-steps-guard plugin (bounds
runaway turns via the agent/turn-continuation waterfall — abort()
from step-end is a no-op by then), and a stdio UI with dimmed
reasoning and exit-on-idle for piped stdin.
- e2e (yarn test:e2e, key-gated): full-loop.e2e.ts runs a real model
against the real bash tool; coding-task.e2e.ts is the swebench-style
smoke — the model fixes a buggy add.js in a temp dir and the test
re-runs node add.test.js itself rather than trusting the agent.
- docs/cookbook: adding-a-package (the verified checklist),
adding-a-tool (execute() contract, background pattern, seams),
adding-an-llm-adapter (protocol obligations, mock-server testing,
e2e policy). AGENTS.md layout/commands/secrets sections updated;
architecture.md points at both examples and the cookbook.
- vitest.e2e.config.ts: serialize test files + retry twice — parallel
e2e files trip the shared internal key's concurrency quota.
- fix: the !js YAML tag spelling in docs/JSDoc is actually !!js
(js-yaml resolves custom tags under tag:yaml.org,2002:js).
The first real LlmAdapter implementations, shipped as a deliberate pair:
same models and wire protocol, completely different internals, so the
StreamChunk protocol is verified across independent implementations.
- dsh-llm-deepseek: hand-rolled fetch + SSE parser + chunk-translation
state machine against the official chat-completions format (thinking
mode via top-level thinking/reasoning_effort; the empty-string
reasoning_content first chunk; usage attached to the finish chunk or
trailing; reasoning_content passback on tool-call turns; disjoint
cache-token accounting).
- dsh-llm-pi-ai: the same endpoint through @earendil-works/pi-ai,
mapping its event vocabulary (parsed tool arguments, in-stream error
events, folded reasoning tokens) onto the same chunks.
The agent loop now honors the in-band error path: an adapter that ends
its stream with finish {kind:error|aborted} (the only option for
adapters that can't throw mid-stream, like pi-ai) is translated into a
step error, so the turn ends error/aborted with a logged error event
instead of a normal completed assistant message. This makes the
StreamChunk error contract real for both adapters; docs/architecture.md
and the StreamChunk doc are updated accordingly.
New yarn test:e2e (vitest.e2e.config.ts, *.e2e.ts) runs key-gated
real-API matrices for both adapters across V4 Flash/Pro and all
thinking/effort levels; it self-skips without DEEPSEEK_API_KEY. Unit
suites run against local node:http mock SSE servers at 100% per-file
coverage.
